Obama Skirt Project

What happens to a dream deferred & now come true?
-
Thanks for stopping by. There are 6 dresses. Together, they tell a story. Women overseas wear these fabrics during elections to support local politicians. But I've been waiting 15 years to rock one, so am wearing them for a year since this is my first black president! I started on July 19th, 2009. So far I've found Obama fabrics from Mali, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and South Africa.
